Prague by night

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Prague by night

It was below freezing last night when I went out, but it was well worth it! Decided to take the Nikon instead for this jaunt as I don't have a fast enough lens for the significant other.

Surprisingly, the Nikon started acting up in the cold conditions. When I was previewing images, the images on screen appeared corrupted. Fortunately I've experienced this before and the images were fine.

What's interesting to note is that laneways that appear romantic in the daytime, can just be downright creepy at night.

I love this next one. The couple went to have a look at the pretzels and the guy's expression is a classic (they walked away after this moment, empty handed).

There's a beautiful contrast in last image, between the guy on the left, who might (but probably is not) a busker or beggar, and everyone else walking past.

Your conversions on these images is great, and the first two are very nice images of what I'm led to believe is a beautiful city.

Thanks Gary. Appreciate the feedback.

Prague certainly is a beautiful city and incredibly small. You can move around quite easily either by foot or PT (which is far more trustworthy and efficient than anything back home).

I really like the first of these.

The brightness frames the door and then (as we are use to we read left to right) that leads me down the alley.

I find its the brightness that doesn't work as well in the second as i'm drawn straight to the building and miss the person on the street.

3rd and 4th are excellent
